Capture Changes as They are Made

The AutoSave for System Platform server software runs on the Galaxy Repository (GR) system and acts as a monitor of incoming activity while capturing changes as they are made. By actively managing the GR, AutoSave for System Platform can track changes for multiple users, simultaneously. AutoSave for System Platform has an intuitive client interface that provides access to historical data archived in the AutoSave Server. This includes graphical objects, templates, client controls and managed InTouch applications.
